Solved I want to switch from Plesk Panel to Directadmin panel on my server. Can you help me?

[Baby Community]

I have been in the internet world since 1996. I remember using directadmin for a very short time. But mostly I used Plesk Panel. I prefer directadmin in terms of cost, ease of use and simplicity. I know Centos 8 commands and import linux alma commands. Can you show me the installation instructions on how to install directadmin in the easiest way on these operating systems?

First, I will rent an empty Centos 8 server and do the installation and setup there. Then I will rent a medium sized server and install it there and move the Baby Community there.

Directadmin mysql server is mariadb? Mariadb is one of my must-haves

Just one single line and you are good to go

Why double job?
Just install it direct on the new server (why not start using almalinux 9 instead of Centos 8?)

You can use both of them ,take care of the license type , legacy license dont support Mysql 8 and above MariaDB 10.6.x

If you have an cPanel backup you can convert/move it to Directadmin:

Why not rent an empty server and put Almalinux 9 on it? Normal Centos 8 is EOL and Centos-stream might not be as stable as Almalinux or Rocky linux.
So I would advise to reconsider and use Almalinux 9.
